Last Sunday, Cliff and I were invited to this activity called the Friendship Power Kembot, a running event organized by the Fabulous Running Divas to build a sense of comradery among the running community. To those who cannot understand Tagalog, ‘kembot’ means to shake the hips (but don’t take it literally). 😛 The route has a combination of rough road, pavement and trails that went constantly uphill and downhill. It is said to be a 21km trail starting form Silang, Cavite and back via the infamous Cardiac Hill in Laguna.

I’ve already traveled to Baguio twice and have visited some of the tourists spots like the Burnham Park, Mines View Park, the Mansion, etc but I didn’t get the chance to visit the Diplomat Hotel.
